Everyone loves leftovers, right? As we close out Fall 2024, here are a few events photographed this semester by student photographer Matt B. Deane, who is graduating in mechatronics technology. 

Two of these events were new: "Pickle(d) Party" on National Pickle Day and "Hunt for Housing," hosted by off-campus landlords. Two others are annual affairs: Dining Services' "Friendsgiving" (formerly called "Thanksgiving Dinner") and "Casino Night" – a veritable smorgasbord of student amusement.

Held over two nights, "Hunt for Housing" attracted 156 attendees who conversed with landlords and Residence Life staff.

Landlords enjoyed connecting with Penn College students, and a total of 72 contracts were submitted during the event. This smiling duo represented Kimble Realty.
